Go Monochrome This Holiday Season!

Yet another Holiday season! It is the time when families gather, and spend time with one another. Everyone seems to slow down and enjoy themselves a little more. Given that this is my newborn’s first Christmas, this year is particularly memorable for me.

While I am getting ready to celebrate this joyous season with my family and friends, I decided to spruce up my style and reuse what was available from my wardrobe for some fresh Holiday looks.

Leather skirt—a cornerstone of mod-chic fashion. I wore it with a cropped blouse when I went to Lisbon for a night out, as you can see. Alternatively, wear it with a turtle-neck T-shirt for a classic look. Both of these can be terrific options if you’re looking for summer-appropriate attire!

Tip: Add texture to your monochrome ensemble. Faux fur, leather, and lace are all excellent choices.

Without flannel attire, Christmas isn’t Christmas. This lovely skirt from JCrew is incredibly adaptable and makes for simple office attire when layered over a powder blue shirt or blouse. Plus this Off-the-shoulder sweater! Oh! So current.

Tip: Don’t be afraid to show off those gorgeous shoulder blades or don a sweater with a striking neckline.

wide-leg pants

I went to Toledo, Spain, wearing yet another wonderful flannel skirt. It’s fantastic both during the day and at night! Or when worn with wide-leg pants like these, since a red ensemble and a sweater go hand in hand with the holiday season.

Tip: Yes, you may wear accent colors with a monochromatic outfit.

Jumpsuit

A black jumpsuit is always a good choice. I purchased it from Stitch Fix. I teamed it with a white leather jacket for a sophisticated look because it is made of an extremely comfortable, breathable fabric.

Tip: Your shirts and pants are already coordinated while wearing a jumpsuit. For an extra dose of panache, throw in a stylish handbag or cap.

Sweater

I also wanted to attempt wearing yellow as a monochromatic outfit. It is a striking and lovely appearance. I used to have this Loft skirt in my closet a few years ago, and this JCrew sweater, when layered over a pair of mom jeans, can be stunning for a chic weekend look.

Tip: Use light and dark tones from the same color palette for a perfect monochrome.

Maternity dress

BONUS:

For all you Mamas-to-be, I’ve got you covered! I wore this dress for my friend’s baby shower (I was 2 months postpartum when the pic was taken), which I also think could be a good choice for a holiday party. From Amazon, it’s a stunning Matcha green dress, and I’ve received plenty of compliments on it. A great maternity dress with plenty of room for that baby bump.
